He stretched out what looked like a hand and took me by the hair of my head. The Spirit lifted me up between earth and heaven and in visions of God he took me to Jerusalem, to the entrance to the north gate of the inner court, where the idol that provokes to jealousy stood.

4

誰知、在那裡有以色列 神的榮耀、形狀與我在平原所見的一樣。

And there before me was the glory of the God of Israel, as in the vision I had seen in the plain.

5

神對我說、人子阿、你舉目向北觀看．我就舉目向北觀看、見祭壇門的北邊、在門口有這惹忌邪的偶像。

Then he said to me, "Son of man, look toward the north." So I looked, and in the entrance north of the gate of the altar I saw this idol of jealousy.

6

又對我說、人子阿、以色列家所行的、就是在此行這大可憎的事、使我遠離我的聖所、你看見了麼．你還要看見另有大可憎的事。

And he said to me, "Son of man, do you see what they are doing--the utterly detestable things the house of Israel is doing here, things that will drive me far from my sanctuary? But you will see things that are even more detestable."

7

他領我到院門口、我觀看、見牆上有個窟窿。

Then he brought me to the entrance to the court. I looked, and I saw a hole in the wall.

8

他對我說、人子阿、你要挖牆．我一挖牆、見有一門。

He said to me, "Son of man, now dig into the wall." So I dug into the wall and saw a doorway there.

9

他說、你進去、看他們在這裡所行可憎的惡事。

And he said to me, "Go in and see the wicked and detestable things they are doing here."

10

我進去一看、誰知、在四面牆上畫著各樣爬物、和可憎的走獸、並以色列家一切的偶像。

So I went in and looked, and I saw portrayed all over the walls all kinds of crawling things and detestable animals and all the idols of the house of Israel.

11

在這些像前、有以色列家的七十個長老站立、沙番的兒子雅撒尼亞也站在其中．各人手拿香爐、煙雲的香氣上騰。

In front of them stood seventy elders of the house of Israel, and Jaazaniah son of Shaphan was standing among them. Each had a censer in his hand, and a fragrant cloud of incense was rising.

12

他對我說、人子阿、以色列家的長老暗中在各人畫像屋裡所行的、你看見了麼．他們常說、耶和華看不見我們、耶和華已經離棄這地。

He said to me, "Son of man, have you seen what the elders of the house of Israel are doing in the darkness, each at the shrine of his own idol? They say, 'The LORD does not see us; the LORD has forsaken the land.'"

13

他又說、你還要看見他們另外行大可憎的事。

Again, he said, "You will see them doing things that are even more detestable."

14

他領我到耶和華殿外院朝北的門口、誰知、在那裡有婦女坐著、為搭模斯哭泣。

Then he brought me to the entrance to the north gate of the house of the LORD, and I saw women sitting there, mourning for Tammuz.

15

他對我說、人子阿、你看見了麼．你還要看見比這更可憎的事。

He said to me, "Do you see this, son of man? You will see things that are even more detestable than this."

16

他又領我到耶和華殿的內院、誰知、在耶和華的殿門口、廊子和祭壇中間、約有二十五個人、背向耶和華的殿、面向東方、拜日頭。

He then brought me into the inner court of the house of the LORD, and there at the entrance to the temple, between the portico and the altar, were about twenty-five men. With their backs toward the temple of the LORD and their faces toward the east, they were bowing down to the sun in the east.

17

他對我說、人子阿、你看見了麼．猶大家在此行這可憎的事、還算為小麼。他們在這地遍行強暴、再三惹我發怒、他們手拿枝條舉向鼻前。

He said to me, "Have you seen this, son of man? Is it a trivial matter for the house of Judah to do the detestable things they are doing here? Must they also fill the land with violence and continually provoke me to anger? Look at them putting the branch to their nose!

18

因此、我也要以忿怒行事、我眼必不顧惜、也不可憐他們、他們雖向我耳中大聲呼求、我還是不聽。

Therefore I will deal with them in anger; I will not look on them with pity or spare them. Although they shout in my ears, I will not listen to them."
